Odontoma by definition
alone refers to any tumour of odontogenic origion. These are considered to be
hamartomatous malformation rather than true neoplasm and are generally
asymptomatic. World Health Organization defines a lesion as the complex
odontoma: when the calcified dental tissues are simply arranged in an irregular
mass bearing no morphologic similarity to rudimentary teeth. Compound
odontomas: composed of all odontogenic tissues in an orderly pattern, which
result in many teeth-like structures, but without morphologic resemblance to
normal teeth. The goal of this article is to report two cases of the complex
odontomas erupted in oral cavity and compound odotome with impacted teeth. The
article also aims to report that intra oral approach for removal of odontomas
complex or compound small or large is better than extra oral approach.
